La Cañada Counseling

therapy for individuals, couples and families in La Canada/Glendale/Pasadena area

Alexine Thompson-de Benoit, MS, MFT                          


    Are you struggling to build and maintain meaningful relationships? Are you often feeling misunderstood, disconnected, lonely and isolated?  Do you feel like you can't be yourself with those you love? Is it difficult to say no, because you fear you will be rejected or disliked? Do you sometimes wonder if the way you grew up is affecting the way you relate today?

    Are you disapointed by what marriage turned out to be? Do you feel like your partner has become a stranger or a room mate? Or perhaps you are constantly having the same argument, over and over again...

    Are you exhausted, tired and burnt out from being a parent? Are you worried about your child's behavior, wondering what you might have done that caused him/her to turn out the way he/she did? Do you feel at a loss with your child, your family, your marriage, your relationships?

     YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Many people struggle through these things. It is a difficult task to maintain healthy relationships while remaining true to yourself and taking care of yourself. Many couples drift apart throughout the years, letting work, kids and other stressors separate them. Many parents are overwhelmed with guilt, uncertainty and confusion when then can't make sense of their children's behavior. It's easy to feel like you are the only one in your situation. But this does not have to be you.

    If you found this website, you are searching for help. Taking the first step can be scary, but you are doing the right thing for yourself and the ones you love. Therapy can help you understand what is keeping you from being yourself and relating to others in a healthy way and it can help you create long-lasting changes. It can help a couple get disentangled from the unconscious patterns and cycles they get stuck into, and it can help parents get clarity and understanding about their children and what they need through each stage of life.

    I would like to help you find wholeness and fulfillment within yourself and with the people that matter to you the most. Call me today to see how psychotherapy can help you find balance, health and healing. 

Choosing a Therapist  

    Choosing the right therapist for you is a  very personal choice that can be difficult and challenging. It is important to take your time and make an informed decision based on information about your therapist's training and qualifications, their approach and your feeling comfortable in the room as you begin the process of therapy. I hope this site helps you get a sense of who I am and how I work, and whether I could be of help to you. I invite you to read the pages that address the services you are looking for. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to meet for an initial session. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist to take this journey with you.
